- Walker blogs upgraded (Fri, 03 Oct 2008 14:29:51 -0700)
You might not be able to tell by looking at things, but today Nate and I upgraded the Walker blogs from an old version of WordPress. Instead of having multiple WordPress installations, one for each blog, we now have one centralized Wordpress-MU installation that controls them all. It was a rather complicated upgrade process, and some [...] - Northern Lights announces Art(ists) on the Verge, gets new web site and blog (Tue, 30 Sep 2008 09:48:20 -0700)
Several months ago I blogged about about a call for new media art proposals for Art(ists) on the Verge, run by Northern Lights. The grant recipients have been announced: AOV Fellows Christopher Baker, Participation Overload - Reconsidering Participative Art Practices The core goal of the proposed project is to create an artistic installation that engages and questions the [...] - Science Museum of Minnesota?s Rain Table (Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:23:24 -0700)
Our friend Byran Kennedy posted some documentation of a project he’s been working on called Rain Table: Eventually the table will be part of an exhibit called Water: H20 = Life, which the Science Museum is working on with the American Museum of Natural History. Unlike some other tables we’ve profiled that seem to exist just [...] - My Yard Our Message winning yard signs (Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:11:38 -0700)
We’ve tabulated the results for My Yard Our Message and the 50 winning signs are posted. The wisdom of crowds looks like it has paid off, too: the winning designs really are the cream of the crop. The top vote-getter is “peace,” by teri_kwant, with 130 people saying they would put the sign in [...] - Voting almost closed for My Yard Our Message (Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:41:23 -0700)
Time is running out to cast votes for your favorite yard signs in My Yard Our Message. Voting will officially close on Sunday the 27th. But in reality, it probably won’t actually be closed until the morning of Monday the 28th, since that’s when I’ll update the code and turn voting off. Once the voting is [...] - Art(ists) On the Verge: New media grants from Northern Lights (Tue, 08 Jul 2008 08:59:20 -0700)
As someone who’s mildly interested in new media art, I’ve always felt like I’ve been watching from afar as cool work is created and tinkered with, usually in Europe, New York, or the Bay Area. Since the demise of New Media Initiatives as a curatorial department in the Walker, the Twin Cities has seemed lacking [...] - The Death of IE6: Browser Independence Day (Thu, 03 Jul 2008 12:49:39 -0700)
There isn’t a decent web developer alive that doesn’t harbor a deep-seated hatred for Internet Explorer. For years we have dreamed about the day when we could cast off the shackles of developing for the users who are struck with a browser that predates web 2.0. We developers don’t know anyone who still uses IE6; [...] - My Yard Our Message now open for voting (Tue, 01 Jul 2008 10:58:55 -0700)
Yesterday was the deadline for submitting sign designs to My Yard Our Message. We got a ton of signs over the last few days, putting us just shy of 300 signs total. We’re very happy with that number, and the quality of some of the submissions. This morning I turned the site off for a little [...] - Imagining a world without Google (Mon, 16 Jun 2008 07:54:46 -0700)
It’s Monday morning, and like many of you I’m sitting down to my computer for the day. I’ll check my email (office and GMail), see what’s new in the blogosphere (Google Reader), maybe catch up on the world a bit (Google News), and finally start my day of programming. (searching Google to see if [...] - More from Zero1: SubZero (Sat, 07 Jun 2008 17:33:59 -0700)
Last night was the big SubZero street festival portion of Zero1. South First Street was closed for about four blocks in the SoFA district of San Jose, and many artists showing off their contraptions and work had set up. I took a walk down the street several times and captured some of the work. Graffiti Research [...]
